Look at me with your probing eyes,
Though I might not be much to look at.
Gently caress my shoulders,
Show me that I am desired,
That I am worth something to you.
Make me tremble with your touch.
Hear my heart, beating through my chest,
Read my face and know my every want.
Exhale softly revealing your needs
Then pull me in, closer than ever before,
Make me know I am forever yours.

The lady and her Earl, sitting side by side
In a manicured garden with nothing to hide
Surrounded by lavender and citrus high
Along with just a hint of vanilla so shy.
The skies a brilliant blue with no clouds above,
And distant chirps of birds and coos of a dove.
Never had they felt something so true…
When upon the wind they heard I Love You…

Tall and thin, reaching to the sky,
How does that monster stand?
Winds whipping around,
But it is sturdier than the fiercest storms.
Waves crashing upon its base,
The sea surrounds its very foundation
Threatening to topple it with each wave.
Defying nature’s force, it continues to resist,
And shines its light to lead sailors to shore.

She runs across the open field
Free from all that once hindered
Light as a feather, she almost floats
In waves of tall grass and flowers
Butterflies and other winged creatures
Float around her adorned head
A ring of wildflowers is her crown
She looks back behind her and sees
The smile she has long adored,
His laughter fills the air as he watches
Soon he takes off, chasing her down,
As he nears he grabs her waist
Lovingly and strong, he turns her around
Her face blushes from sun and the moment
As they spin together in each other’s arms.
Then one trips and down they go,
Giggling at their folly in the meadow
They find each other once more
And seal their lives together with a kiss.

Full moon high above this early morn’
As many mill about to celebrate today
But I am not here for them though torn
But peace is what I seek by the way.
However with a ding of the phone
The calm once again alludes me
And now I must turn back home
It is an endless cycle of work you see
That one day will lead me to my tomb.
Streams of light pierce through
Upon a misty forested floor.
The redwoods soar up high
Touching the heavens above.
A quiet stream babbles nearby,
As small chirps jump upon branches.
Breathing the dewey morning calms
And bring a peaceful smile.
Although it is only in my dreams.

Crisp mornings fading fast,
Springs in Florida never last.
The sun swiftly rises in the sky
Pinks change to blue up high
And the cardinal sings at full blast.

The sun long gone, far away now
And the moon has slipped out of view
The darkness reveals twinkling stars
Dancing across the night sky.
Midnight falls upon the land
As the cars dwindle and return home.
A lonely train horn blows in the distance
As I finally find my way to slumber.

Fluttering through shadow and light
Caught up by the softest breeze.
Landing on flowers and holding tight,
Gathering the goodness of pollen
And sipping on droplets of water
Nestled deep in petals in the shade.
Closing and opening brightly colors wings
A swallowtail of black and gold
Flitting and pulsing faster and faster
Until letting go and floating away
Upon a new breeze to flowers unknown.

Muffled sounds in the distance of motors and creatures
Echoes of sounds morphed by the waves of the sea
Warm waters surround, suspended and weightless,
Almost helpless against the pull of the current.
Releasing control to nature, watching in amazement
The reef is alive and filled with multitudes of colors
Yellow and blue, purple and greens, fish abound
Red and iridescent corals bend in the flow
Thoughts of a racing mind drift away
as attention moves to closer things,
Peace can be found in this aquatic escape.
But one thing is always there wishing
these adventures one day we may share.
